Burberry Tender Touch is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003, created by Michel Girard. Tender Touch opens with Orange, Mandarin, Rose, and Violet, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Peony, Freesia, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Iris. Burberry's Tender Touch carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This discontinued Burberry scent is a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a gorgeous, fresh floral, while others dismiss it as an old-fashioned 'nice' perfume. A crowd-pleaser for those who appreciate a classic, tender floral bouquet, but perhaps not for those seeking something truly modern or edgy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opening with a gentle caress of rose, bright orange, and juicy litchi, Tender Touch quickly blooms into a vibrant heart of fresh freesia, sweet peach, lush jasmine, and delicate peony. The dry-down reveals a soft, comforting base of powdery iris, creamy sandalwood, warm musk, and amber, creating a truly feminine and romantic embrace that lingers gently on the skin.
